Lost River Caverns is a natural limestone cavern consisting of 5 chambers. The caverns were formed by the karsification or dissolving of the limestone by water. In the past the caverns have been called Rentzeimer's Cave and Lost Cave.[1] The "Lost River" flows through it. The caverns are located on the east side of Hellertown, Pennsylvania, USA.
It was discovered in 1883 when a limestone quarry cut into it. It is presently open to the public.
